Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (illness) won't return to Monday's game against Indiana. He is under the weather, resulting in a questionable tag early on Monday. While the 23-year-old was active to begin the contest, he'll finish this one with seven points and a steal in 11 minutes of work. For now, fantasy managers should consider Wagner as questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Chicago Bulls.

Gary Harris, Cole Anthony, and Jett Howard all could see more minutes as well.

He's missed the last two games because of a sprained right ankle and was riding a questionable tag heading into this one. But Orlando is looking to clinch the Southeast division, which is incentive enough for Wagner to return. Nonetheless, with F. Wagner back in the mix, Moritz Wagner and Jonathan Isaac will likely see fewer than 20 minutes each, lowering their ceilings for DFS purposes.
